Selecting the
metering mode
Mode switch: /
The camera measures the brightness to
determine the exposure. This function lets
you select the following two metering
modes to determine which portion of the
subject to use for measuring the brightness.
Multi-pattern metering (no
indicator)
The image is divided into multiple regions
and metering is performed for each region.
The camera judges the subject position and
background brightness, and determines a
well-balanced exposure.
The factory setting is multi-pattern
metering.
Spot metering ( )
Metering is performed for only a portion of
the subject. This lets you adjust the
exposure to the subject even when the
subject is backlit or there is strong contrast
between the subject and the background.
Position the spot metering cross hair on one
point of the subject you want to shoot.
To focus on the metering position, setting
9 (Focus) to [Center AF] is recommended
(page 47).
